Let's Get Ugly and Feud Drive 2017!

Bring the ugliest holiday sweater you can find from the back of your grandma's closet and get here any time after 6 PM. Live music begins at 8 PM. Whether you are having dinner or just grabbing some drinks, make sure to check-in, tag yourself in a picture at Cure, and get in the running for ugliest sweater of the season!

Our friends over at Taprock Beer Bar & Refuge thinks our Ugly Xmas Party is stupid and will be rocking Santa suits the following day. I think they might underestimate how ugly our sweaters are going to be....anyways this has officially become a Feud Drive. From now until Christmas bring in a canned good to our collection box to benefit the Farmington Food Pantry. Make sure you put our Let's Get Ugly! party on your calendar for #christmaseveeveeve, and we suppose Santa Con Taprock as well. Whoever collects the most food items wins Christmas and gets to make the losing GM guest bartend for a night!

As you may or may not know, Brunch is a huge staple here at Cure. Our weekends just wouldn't be the same without it! And with Easter just around the corner, what better idea than to come on down here with the whole family after the egg hunt is over and indulge with some delicious Benedicts, Mimosas, Bacon, Bloody Mary flights and more! Check out our brunch menu here.

Call today to make a reservation for you and your whole clan! We can't wait to spend the holiday and officially ring in spring with you all!

We are officially less than 1 month away from the taste event you don't want to miss!

The First Annual Taste of Farmington is coming to Farmington Gardens on April 27th to benefit the Farmington Food Pantry CT. Having distributed almost 92,000 pounds of food in 2016, the all volunteer non-profit organization tremendously helps hundreds of Connecticut families receive the assistance they need. On average, the Farmington Food Pantry distributes over 1,900 pounds each week.

We at Cure felt the slogan "Communities for a Cause" fit in so perfectly for what we are trying to accomplish: To give local businesses, friends and families an opportunity to come together, experience what "The Valley" has to offer and help our neighbors.

We are grateful to have such incredible support from the people of Connecticut, our generous sponsors, participating businesses, and the Town of Farmington.

Join us on April 27th from 5:30 - 9:30 for a one of a kind taste experience from over 25 of the best restaurants, local farms, breweries, and wine representatives of the Farmington Valley.

Starting Saturday March 18th at Cure, from 11am - 2pm we've got an Irish inspired brunch with live music from Steelhead! From 4pm - 7pm Steve Dunn will be playing live at Taprock!! Then head on over to O Bar for DJ Darth Vader from 8:30 to close to finish your St. Pat's party off right!

All bars will be featuring Irish Pub Fare and have $4 Irish drafts and $5 Jameson Specials all day and night!!!

And for those of you who will need a little hair of the dog on Sunday morning, don't fret we've got you covered! Our Bloody and Bacon Flights will be flowing starting at 10 am sharp!

Mardi Gras is one of our favorite times of the year! Here at Cure we are strongly inspired by southern food, drink and culture, especially by our super cool friends down in 'Nawlins. The music, culinary culture, and night life has had such a huge influence on restaurants and bars all over the world! And so what better excuse to whip up some classic NOLA specials for y'all??

Join us next Tuesday, February 28th! We will be serving up some delicious New Orleans inspired food and drink ALL DAY LONG!

Our Poutine made with house pistachio gravy, local farm cheese curds, and fried herbs!

We love a celebration here at Cure, especially when it involves fries, gravy, cheese and booze!! Right now, our northern neighbors in Québec are currently not only celebrating their annual Winter Carnaval Festival, (which has been named the largest winter festival in the world after over 1 million people attended it in 2006!!) but we recently learned that is also Poutine Week!

Winter Carnaval this year is being celebrated from January 27th to February 12th, and includes lots of outdoor parties, food, sledding, ice castles and ice sculpture competitions. The famous carnaval drink Caribou is served as a shooter in ice cubes cold, or hot (which is how we prefer it!) This delicious hot wine and whiskey beverage dates back to colonial times when loggers and hunters used to make it from actual caribou blood and whiskey to stay warm while working during the cold months.. pretty intense! Click here for a great recipe to make this classic winter drink at home!

As many of us in Connecticut do, (Langevin, Lessard, Pelletier, Gengras, Belanger, Lefebvre, Poirier, Gagnon, Martel and so on...) some of us at Cure have family ties to the province and after the terrible event that occurred in Québec City last weekend, we wanted to send them some love in the only way we know how.. with our food!

So in honor of our crazy-awesome French Canadian neighbors and relatives, Winter Carnaval, and Poutine Week, we are offering our Poutine at 50% off all day today and tomorrow! So come on in for lunch, happy hour, dinner, brunch, or a late night snack and indulge in a Québec classic with us!
